New Year's Day in 1889 was fast approaching.

This year, because of the arrival of the Brister family, the Huntelaar family is particularly lively, and it also makes the old Huntelaar, who is nearly seventy years old, have a happy smile on his face all day long.

With John and Anna's wedding date confirmed, the Huntelaar family is getting busy.

If it is an ordinary family to get married, of course, it will not be very troublesome, but the combination of the Huntelaar family and the Brister family is definitely going to hold a grand wedding, so there are too many preparations.

This time, even if John was against it, he could only reluctantly compromise under the tough attitude of old Huntelaar.

New York at this time was all about luxury, and the Huntelaar family was now a hospital for the wealthy, so if John's wedding had been simple, he would have been ridiculed by some......

Of course, there are no specific things that John needs to worry about.

After a lively New Year's day, John knew it was time to inspect his property. As the de facto "lion king" of the Huntelaar family, although he can get specific information from his grandfather and others, after leaving New York for more than half a year, he must show his existence to the "subjects" in the "territory".

In New York City, or in North America, John's industry is really not small.

If you count carefully, the most important ones are, of course, several industries that are wholly owned by the Huntelaar family, including Heinz General Hospital, Heinz Pharmaceuticals and Heinz Medical Devices, followed by Heinz Trading Company, which was formed by the merger of several trading companies by the old Huntelaar last year, and the scale is not small. In addition, John's invention of Reojoice Shampoo in preparation for a gift to Anna also contributed to the establishment of Heinz Daily Chemical. For the time being, only one product is the Rejoice Shampoo.

In addition to these companies, John and others also have a number of joint ventures.

The more important ones are Lego toys in cooperation with Steve, and the Huntelaar family owns 40% of the shares; The New York Electric Company, which was established by Morgan and Tesla, has a 29 percent stake in the Huntelaar family; In that year, it invested in Carnegie Steel Company with stainless steel patents, accounting for 3% of the shares; Of course, there is also an elevator company, and the Huntelaar family owns eighty percent of the shares......

John was the first to make the rounds. It's this elevator company.

The elevator company, which was established by John on a whim, has only more than 20 people so far, including a research team of nearly 10 people. From its inception to the present, the company has sold a total of four elevators, in a state of net loss, but John still insists on continuing to invest in research and development, and the performance of the elevator is not stable. New York Electric Power Company is now developing rapidly, New York's earliest skyscraper World Building will be completed next year, and the future application space of elevators is very broad. This investment of the Huntelaar family will certainly not be lost.

New York electricity, Lego toys and Carnegie Steel don't care, either sitting and waiting for dividends, or they are growing rapidly and their value is rising, so after going to the elevator company, John focused on the most important industries of the Huntelaar family.

The fastest growing company is undoubtedly Heinz Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices.

Although it is currently only focusing on the North American market, the newly established Heinz pharmaceutical company has already exceeded one million dollars in annual sales. The high profits made all the investment back in one go, which made people surprised. Compared with. Heinz Medical Devices is much inferior, with annual sales of only more than $100,000. However, John can expect that with the expansion of the production capacity and influence of the two companies, coupled with the production of diphtheria antitoxin serum, this number can at least double next year!

No matter from which point of view, it is a proper golden egg-laying hen.

Besides. The Heinz Trading Company, integrated by the elder Huntelaar, is the most stable, and has steadily expanded over the years with favorable factors such as bicycles, Lego toys and drugs, and has now become a behemoth with millions of dollars in assets and more than $100,000 in annual profits, and its footprints are all over the East Coast! In terms of scale and impact. Heinz Trading Company is already a first-class trading company in New York City and the United States, and as long as there are no surprises, it is not far off to step into the top ranks in the future.

What's more, the establishment of the Heinz daily chemical plant has added another heavy weight!

The spread of Rejoicing shampoo is far faster than John imagined, or that women's pursuit of beauty has exceeded his expectations, and the high-priced Rejoice shampoo has not only spread rapidly among the upper class, but even some middle-class women with higher incomes have flocked to it, preferring to buy a bottle for other things to spend less. After only two or three months on the market, the crazy sales figures made John seriously consider the feasibility of developing products such as soaps and perfumes, after all, only one product is indeed too thin.

After a week, John probably had ...... number in his mind...... Next, that's all there is left to the hospital, right? ”

After dinner again, we met in old Huntelaar's bedroom, and the old man asked lightly.

"Hmm!"

Nodding, John didn't say anything more.

The reason why he put the hospital at the end is not because he doesn't value it, but in fact, it is precisely because he values Heinz General Hospital the most that he will go at the end. Because once he starts showing up in the hospital, it means that other things will be left behind and he won't be able to take care of it for a short time.

As John's grandfather, old Huntelaar was certainly well aware of this.

However, after a moment of silence, old Huntelaar suddenly asked, "John, you have also dissolved a lot of family business in the past two years, have you found us...... What's missing? ”

"Almost what? Uh......"

John was a little dazed by the question, and shook his head in confusion.

Old Huntelaar was not surprised, raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "John, our family's industry in North America now includes trading companies, factories, and hospitals, and the industries also include pharmaceuticals, machinery, toys and daily necessities, etc., and if you are going to open a car factory, it will involve even more...... Don't you realize that these industries are like the limbs and torsos of the Huntelaar family, but we still have a necessary core component that we don't have? ”

"This ......"

The more old Huntelaar guided him, the more confused John became.

"Alas......"

Looking at John's dazed look, old Huntelaar finally gave up talking too much, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, I won't go around the bend with you!" John, we should have a bank......" (To be continued......
